Both of the Thrive: Take Root videos required extensive pre-production work in terms of finding diverse actors in specific age ranges and a location that matched the look of our target audience.  In addition, the script took quite a few revisions before it was approved.  My role was scheduling, finding actors, scouting locations, gathering props, and directing on set.  For this project, we did a 1 day shoot.  Our young actor was only 3 so my direction on set in order to make sure we got all the shots was crucial.
